Examining the haptic prototyping process using a novel open source haptic creation tool
Haptics have advanced rapidly in the past decade and are increasingly used by AAA game developers. They are an essential way of delivering tactile information in everything from watches to theatre seats. Our research aims to improve how haptic effects can be prototyped and iterated on by …

Haptic Interface for Non-Visual Steering
… significant cause of traffic accidents. Existing haptic automotive interfaces typically indicate when and in which direction to steer, but they don't convey how much to steer, as a driver typically determines this using visual feedback. We present a novel haptic interface that relies on an …

Haptic holography : an early computational plastic
This dissertation introduces haptic holography, a combination of computational modeling and multimodal spatial display, as an early computationalplastic In this work, we combine various holographic displays with a force feedback device to image free-standing material surfaces with programmatically …

A haptic stencil for manufacturing applications
The haptic stencil consists of a 5 DOF haptic device and an anti-collision algorithm that acts as a geometric stencil and can be used for a variety of applications ranging from training to rapid prototyping and manufacturing. Online manipulation of a three-axis desktop milling machine was …

Soaking Sensual Nakedness: Haptic Bathhouse Explorations
How can architecture stimulate an increased haptic experience? People with sight lack the everyday immediacy of sensory awareness as compared with people with significant sight impairment. When sight is lost, the mind compensates by heightening the other senses for receiving information. In …

Haptic controls in cars for safer driving
… geared towards utilization of the human senses, haptic technologies have been introduced as a way of utilising the sense of touch to either solve real world problems or to enhance present experiences. This thesis focuses on using haptic technology in cars to make the driving experience safer. …

Novel haptic interface For viewing 3D images
… an input to be rendered in a 3D display, do the haptic rendering calculations and have a position depending render of the scene. The author presents two main contributions. First, since the haptic devices have a finite work space and limited resolution, we used what we call detail mapping …

Interactive freeform solid modeling with haptic interface
… the issues of interactive solid modeling with haptic interface. A virtual reality (VR) approach is taken to make the use of modeling tools more intuitive and interactive. The virtual sculpting method is based on the metaphor of carving a solid block into a 3D freeform object. The VT interface …
